    FreeNAS install guide and blog posts
    • A multipart series on YouTube about installing FreeNAS
    • In part 1, the guy (who is possibly Dracula, with his very Transylvanian accent..) builds his new file server and shows off the hardware
    • In part 2, he shows how to install and configure FreeNAS, uses IPMI, sets up his pools
    • He pronounces gigabytes as jiggabytes and it's hilarious
    • We've also got an unrelated blog post about a very satisfied FreeNAS user who details his setup
    • As well as another blog post from our old pal Devin Teske about his recent foray into the FreeNAS development world

        • ***

          Hostname canonicalisation in OpenSSH
          • Blog post from our friend Damien Miller
          • This new feature allows clients to canonicalize unqualified domain names
          • SSH will know if you typed "ssh bsdnow" you meant "ssh bsdnow.tv" with new config options
          • This will help clean up some ssh configs, especially if you have many hosts
          • Should make it into OpenSSH 6.5, which is "due really soon"
